BUILD A BETTER BUSINESS | After the last few years of unique market conditions and industry changes, many people have questions about real estate. Lead with insight and provide value through in-person conversations.

Angela and Travis launch the 2025 Sales Contest and discuss why connection and conversations with people are so important. They dig into the four main conversations we're focused on: updating people on the market, helping buyers and sellers think through timing the market, using 'who do you know who...?' dialogue and asking for referrals. Human connection is more important than ever so it’s essential to get face-to-face and voice-to-voice with your people.

You can find all sales contest resources in the Forge: c21forge.com/sales-contest-2025

BUILD A BETTER BUSINESS | Real estate agents are in the people business. But more importantly, we're in the value creation business. To grow our business and build exciting futures for our families, we must provide value in the lives of others. We can do this by intentionally providing LRC - leadership, relationship and creativity. Angela discusses this concept with Dylan de Bruin. They dig into the results of LRC (direction, confidence and capability) and how entrepreneurs can use it to forge meaningful connections, inspire others and drive innovation.

To learn more about LRC, access the resource in the Forge here.
